Why does Agusta use F4 and F3 as names? Honda used those in the 90's and 00's... Couldn't they be a little more creative? It just bothers me that of all the possible letter/number combinations, they had to use the name of another bike. The s1000rr is another one that copies Honda...

^ NSC? Never heard of it. More importantly, why does is have those sweet projectors, and the cbr's don't? For such dangerous vehicles that motorcycles are, they sure have bad lighting. These should be standard across the line.

Thanks, very kind of you to say. You should pick one up used and see if it's worth getting into - I've found having a decent camera makes me appreciate what I see more and pay attention to details - I thought it might get in the way of enjoying trips, but it's enhanced them.

I have a Canon 600D, which is (or was when I bought it) a very good mid-range DSLR. Eventually everyone seems to upgrade so a nice used one with lenses, but I'm actually really happy with this as it's light and easy to travel with. You've got some good pics in your thread, interesting angles and views of the bikes so I'm pretty sure you could take advantage of it.
